    Hi Trent, love your videos! Retired now from many years of blimp flying and am living in Denmark, flying a French built Reims F-150M around Scandinavia. You are an inspiration that keeps me running to the airport to get my feet off the ground, you bring back the fun!
    I’ve shared your channel with tons of my Danish pilot friends and we always look forward to your next installment. We would love to start a back country flying group here but the population density is high here and the aviation rules are very tough, not to mention so few planes here are capable of bush flying conditions. So, for the time being we will keep flying our Cessnas, Pipers etc. and do our back country dreaming by watching you have fun!
    Take care, fly safe and keep the videos coming!!!

  • @doranjaffas7351
    @doranjaffas7351 3 роки тому

    I've been flying for just over 37 years various types of airplanes and now on and fly a Whitman Tailwind W8. Not really a short field aircraft but it does get down reasonably well. I've always stood by the adage that there's nothing as useless as the air above or the runway behind so all of my landings have been short-field. Obviously in gusting conditions you carry some extra speed but even then you be surprised what you can do with full flaps just slow things down.
    This video if it didn't have ads in it which I know you need, it's such a quality it could be played in a movie theater. you do a fantastic job Trent and I hope you keep it up.

  • @kevinstone9638

Had to hanger in Dinkytown! I've followed your channel for awhile and how that kitfox was mostly the only choice. Has to be a lot cheaper in many ways from a more traditional aircraft. To me bush flying is akin to my offroading on a quad with rough roads and uncertain footing!

    Haha, totally agree. I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on the DJI FPV. I’d rather have a Kitfox! Love the visibility in that thing. I have a pile of DJI products and have a love hate relationship with them. A friend brought over a DJI spark one time and I tried to fly it around my yard and trees. It went into freak out mode and the automation took over. It popped up and flew away from the trees. I landed it and handed it back to my friend and didn’t want to fly it any more. I do like my Mavic 2 Pro....on the fence about the new FPV. I might just build a manual Fpv with a go pro. I do love the simplicity of buy and fly with DJI. That’s really interesting about the ADSB warning near manned aircraft. Keep up the cool videos Trent! Hopefully I’ll see you out at Oshkosh or a fly in some day!

    for your purposes I could see the ADS-B being a big pain, but for the average rec drone pilot, that is honestly an amazing feature and I hope it gets applied to all the consumer recreational drones, maybe then we wont have people flying drones over wildfires grounding firefighting aircraft anymore.
